Kadist Art Foundation

Kadist Art Foundation is a contemporary art center with locations in Paris and San Francisco, maintaining exhibition spaces and artist residency programs at both sites. The foundation presents exhibitions featuring emerging and established artists, alongside performances, film screenings, and educational workshops throughout the year.

The foundation was established in Paris in 2006 and opened its San Francisco location in 2011 to expand its international reach. This dual-city structure allowed it to develop as a global hub for contemporary art practice.

The foundation connects artists and audiences from around the world through its exhibition program and creative residencies. Visitors encounter artistic voices that engage with contemporary questions and offer different perspectives on art-making.

Visitors should expect rotating exhibitions and programs throughout the year at both locations featuring contemporary artistic work. It helps to check current programming before visiting since new presentations and events occur regularly.

The foundation holds a collection of around 800 works that circulates beyond its two locations, with pieces regularly borrowed by museums around the world. This lending approach means that important artworks from the collection can be experienced in many different places and contexts.
